I must admit, I was nervous about the Palin email release last Friday (brilliant move by Parnell to release them on a Friday, BTW!). Not that I thought she had done anything wrong or that there would be anything really bad in them. But as mbecker had predicted, I expected a slow drip, drip, drip of moderately negative releases that would chisel away at what is left of her favorable ratings. I mean, seriously, who among us could survive without embarrassment the release of 24,000 of our emails? Well, apparently Sarah Palin can. Not only did the media not find anything truly shocking, but they actually were forced to admit that many of the emails made Sarah look quite good.
Well, if there were any worry about lingering emails that somehow the thousands of Palin-haters missed on that first day, Jon Stewart has put that worry to rest. With this clip from his show, I suspect that the Palin email story is dead and buried. As they say, the narrative is set…

Anybody care to have a second look in Al Capone’s vault? We might have missed something in there.

Actually there was a good nugget in there

Yes, indeed, that was a wonderful nugget!
rickbull Wednesday, June 15th at 10:56PM EST (link)But it was not the kind of nugget that the MSM was looking for. They wanted nuggets of excrement, and what they found was this one made of solid gold. It is so sad that they do not understand its value.

Truth is truth - and there's a great story here
David123 (Diary) Wednesday, June 15th at 11:11PM EST (link)The media loves these stories where someone is falsely of convicted of some awful crime, and then new evidence surfaces – or a journalist uncovers new evidence – and everyone realizes that the wrong guy got convicted.
Well Sarah Palin was wrongly convicted of being some kind of monster and the real truth, the real evidence, shows that she is actually a loving, compassionate, faithful woman of good moral character.

The problem is
rickbull Wednesday, June 15th at 11:34PM EST (link)that the establishment news media were the ones that convicted her without a trial. There are many in the new media who absolutely loved this story and e-mail. _I_ loved this story and e-mail.
But you will notice that it did not make the CBS Evening News. The mainstream media love a story where the underdog uncovers new and exonerating evidence, and the wrongly convicted gets a reprieve. But they absolutely hate it when the wrongly convicted turns out to be one that they, themselves, vilified.
Classic example: you’ll notice that the New York Times didn’t exactly throw a ticker tape parade for the exonerated Duke Lacrosse Team . . . (crickets chirping).

rickbull Wednesday, June 15th at 11:43PM EST (link)Please don’t misinterpret what I say. I am not down on Sarah Palin–in fact, I have great admiration for Sarah, and great respect. My beef is with Katie Couric and the rest who did their best to discredit her in 2008. When it comes to dealing with the news media, I am a bigger cynic than H. L. Mencken.

What a profound difference from those

Not only has Palin expanded her family’s world by choosing life for Trig, she has managed to touch us all by making the truly right and moral decision. Abortion degrades society quite literally by making the world a smaller place.

rwmom, I have always thought
heartlander (Diary) Friday, June 17th at 1:42AM EST (link)…that that was what explains the hysterical, irrational, totally over-the-top, shrieking HATRED for Sarah Palin. Every time they see her beautiful smile — and that of her precious little boy — it doesn’t just prick their conscience, it threatens the tumbling down of their whole world.
Only Jesus can build you back up — and if you’re determined not to let HIM in, then you need to pre-emptively prevent that tumbling-down of all the self-defensive walls you’ve built — and the only way to do THAT is to utterly destroy whomever it is that unintentionally reminds you of the child (or children) whom you killed.

Thanks also to Brietbart (one of my hero’s), and the awareness he is bringing to the public about the slanted media coverage of conservatives.
My dinner table barometer is finally beginning to believe that they have been played by the left for votes and support.
Score one for Mom! Apparently I am not as crazy as they thought.

“But as mbecker had predicted, I expected a slow drip, drip, drip of moderately negative releases that would chisel away at what is left of her favorable ratings.”
Yea, I remember arguing with mbecker over the same thing. I’ve said repeatedly that Sarah is the most vetted figure in the history of politics. The fact that she can withstand all of this and turn the table back o the LMS shows that she is tough enough to defeat the smears to deliver her message to the American people.
Pretty sad though that many, including you azaeroprof, bought mbecker’s predictions that the emails would help ruin her.
Not even close. It’s going to come down to Sarah vs. Romney. All of the Anyone But Palin people are going to have to choose between a real conservative and an establishment moderate.
